Google, owned by Alphabet, launched its latest AI model called Gemini 3. This new version brings improved features that will be used right away in products like Google's search engine.
Gemini 3, which comes 11 months after the second version, helps Google stay ahead in the AI competition. Company leaders pointed out that Gemini 3 is ranked highly on many industry performance lists.
However, the focus in the AI industry is now shifting from just testing performance to making money from AI technology. Wall Street is paying attention to how well companies like Google are turning AI into profitable products. Alphabet's stock has been doing well this year, mostly thanks to the success of AI-powered services in its cloud computing business.
Even with top companies like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic working on AI, new updates to enterprise artificial intelligence models have struggled to stand out. They often only get noticed when something goes wrong, like what happened with Meta earlier this year.
Google made it clear that Gemini 3, unlike previous versions, was already being used in several products that make money, both for consumers and businesses, right from the start.
Executive Statement
According to CEO Sundar Pichai, the Gemini 3 launch marked the first time that Google had incorporated its new model into its AI search engine from day one. In the past, new versions of Gemini took weeks or months to embed into Google’s most highly used products.
